RE: Cavalier metal clarinet?

The Cavalier metal clarinet was made by the Conn Band Instrument Co., of Elkhart, IN. The name "Conn" was used on the company"s first-line instruments, "Pan American" appeared on school-grade instruments, and "Cavalier" was used on instruments for beginners. The Cavalier was about the lowest-priced instrument available during the 20s and 30s. AS a repair man, I handled several of these clarinets and ususally found them badly out of tune, but that might have been due to poor mouthpieces.
